Hardwood External Doors

What makes our hardwood external doors stand out?

Our external hardwood doors have an inside core made up of solid hardwood blocks, jointed with mortise and tenon. 

The hardwood front doors are then overlaid with A-grade hardwood veneers. Glazed hardwood doors allow extra light into darker hallways. 

The benefits of an engineered external door

Compared to traditional single timber doors, engineered hardwood exterior doors have a number of superior benefits. 

Traditional external timber doors will often warp, move, expand and contract in our weather, and external doors are particularly susceptible to this having one internal warm side and another external cold side. 

The jointed single members will tend to pull away from each other, further trying to expand to fill the doorway as tightly as possible.

How are hardwood engineered doors superior to traditional single timber doors?

External hardwood engineered doors are made up of various hardwood blocks bound together under extreme heat. 

This ‘core’ is then covered in high grade hardwood veneer. In this way the components of the hardwood door hold together to form a solid body which resists movement, warping and expansion. 

Our external solid hardwood doors are therefore more resilient to harsh changes in weather conditions, so they’ll last a long time without becoming damaged.

How to install hardwood external doors

Always employ a qualified joiner to install your new hardwood front doors. We recommend four hinges for external doors and good solid locking mechanisms.

Always hang external timber doors in a sound fitting, hardwood, external grade frame with draught excluders.

How to care for hardwood external doors

Your hardwood external door becomes immediately exposed to UV rays and the weather from the moment it is hung. 

So, all hardwood exterior doors need good quality weather proof paints or treatments to preserve them through the extremes of the British climate. 

Please see our help and advice section for further advice on this important element.

We offer a range of styles to suit your personal preference, including hardwood glazed external doors to more modern designs of timber front doors.
